Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday warned that the American people dont want to see a partial government shutdown and expressed hope it could be avoided hours after President Trump in a meeting with Democratic leaders said he was willing to shut down the government for tougher border security.
I hope thats not where we end up. I understand it was a rather spirited meeting, McConnell told reporters when asked by reporters about Trumps threat. McConnell later warned that forcing a shutdown would be a political mistake for either side in the battle over funding for a wall on Mexico's border.
One thing I think is pretty clear no matter who precipitates the government shutdown is the American people dont like it, he said.
I hope that will be a voided and both sides understand thats not a great way to end what has in my opinion has been the most successful Congress, right of center, he added.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, MITCH?
NOTHING!
Nobody wants your agenda - nobody wants your wall - and people are getting pizzed at their "tax break!"
Have your corporate buddies and 1% build your wall - but make it a smaller, circular wall with you and them inside it!
Way to go, Nancy and Chuck!!!!!!

(489 posts)Someone should point Mitch in the general direction of the incoming House membership, which would sort of indicate the American people were not quite happy with the Most Successful Congress, Right of Center.
